Long Straight Hairstyles and Cuts

Unconventional haircuts for long straight hair

Choppy layers and shag cuts are currently the hottest looks in hair fashion. And as hair design has moved away from one main style for long straight hair – at last – there’s much more emphasis on giving each client a tailor-made style that is cut to flatter your face and body shape.

This can be done through clever placement of layers in haircuts for long straight hair that will balance out a round, long, heart or square face. And by choosing the perfect fringe to accentuate your eyes or no fringe at all, you can do wonders to improve the proportions of your face.

Fringes that flatter faces

The side parting with a side-swept fringe is one of the most popular ways to wear bangs, but everything depends on your facial features. Long faces can take a really long trendy fringe that makes a diagonal line across the face and makes it look shorter.

On a square face with a strong jawline, have layers cut to sweep onto the face to cover the angular jaw and soften your whole face.

And heart shaped faces can disguise a wide forehead by wearing a fringe that covers the outer edges, but is parted in the centre to bring the focus in. Narrow faces can have layers that allow you to create some extra volume at the sides to add width.

And choppy layers around the face will disguise a round face when added to any of the latest haircuts for long, straight hair.

Another strong fashion is for random, ‘undone’ waves of any type from deep, glossy and glamorous Old Hollywood waves, to windswept beachy waves that are easy to create on any haircuts for long straight hair, too.
